Assignment 3: Course Project—Final Draft of Essay

In this assignment, you will complete final revisions and submit your five-paragraph essay on your chosen topic presenting an informed, cohesive opinion.

As you reach the final stages of revision, examine your writing style.Did you use complete sentences and avoid run ons and comma splices? Do you reuse words too often? Do you choose a passive voice when an active voice would make the paper flow better? This is a good time to read your paper aloud to a friend or into a tape recorder to catch any inconsistencies in your style. After developing your thesis, writing body paragraphs, writing a conclusion, revising for effectiveness, and editing for grammar and style, the time has come to submit your final paper!

  • A strong thesis statement
